2023 update…So, funny story. I planted South Seas next to Fire King, then forgot that was where I put it. They have very similar blooms unless you are really looking. This year I noticed that the patch on the left was more orange. Well, that turns out to be the real Fire King.
So, it hasn't been going great guns like I thought. It's doing ok but it's the South Seas that's really impressive. Anyway, Fire King bloomed from July 21- August 2nd. I only photographed a few blooms, five actually. It could have had more but I was probably focused on South Seas. Now that I know, I'll be better at sorting them out!
